Yer right Mac. In Linville, it's not the miles, it's the terrain. Steep and rough, but Conley is probably the tamest trail on the west side. Most don't have all those switchbacks.

Ken

MacEntire & Ken are right. If we choose that campsite (& I hope we do) it's basically all down hill on the way in, until you get to the trail that follows the river, the Linville Gorge Trail (LGT), & that's just a little up & down. Not bad at all.
And the trail in & out is not a bad trail. Just take your time.
I've taken kids & out of shape friends on that trail & they did fine.

As we get a little closer, we'll make a list of perspective hammockers, but the site that Ken, MacEntire & me used earlier this year is nice & flat w/ enough well spaced trees to handle as many hammocks as needed.

Looks like things are aligning for that week before Halloween!!! Unless a major disaster occurs or I get locked up for killing someone overseas ... ahem .. I'll be back in country ... furniture market will end on the 22nd ... and life will be good!

Now ... got to make sure I get Shug some good livermush for the gorge!
